6981 :: get Seconds of Time.time

  total newbie here, trying to find a fast way to check if files inside a dir has changed. Im checking the the fileinfo with getFileInfo() function and I want to read lastWriteTime.seconds but it is impossible. I can read lastWriteTime but I cant get seconds or nanoseconds on what appears to be an object of Time.time. Not sure what Im doing wrong?

  var dir = paramStr(1)

  for path in os.walkFiles(dir&"*"):

  let info = os.getFileInfo(path) let last = info.lastWriteTime echo last.seconds // Fails here cant get seconds

  Error: undeclared field: 'seconds' for type times.Time [declared in /usr/lib/nim/pure/times.nim(308, 3)

  Thanks

  You can't access the seconds field of a Time object directly. You need to use toUnix to get it.
